Pedro Pietri

Autor Pedro Pietri Editat de Juan Flores, Pedro Lopez Adorno
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 oct 2015

Ne aflăm în fața unei antologii esențiale pentru studiul literaturii latino-americane și al mișcărilor de avangardă socială din Statele Unite. Pedro Pietri: Selected Poetry se încadrează în centrul programelor de studii culturale și etnice, oferind o perspectivă brută asupra experienței diasporei portoricane. Găsim în această carte nu doar versuri, ci un manifest al mișcării Nuyorican, definit prin activism și o estetică a supraviețuirii urbane. Această ediție de la City Lights Books completează perspectiva oferită de antologia Aloud, adăugând o profunzime monografică asupra unuia dintre cei mai radicali autori ai mișcării, acolo unde alte colecții se limitează la o selecție multi-autor. Observăm o structură cronologică și tematică riguroasă, organizată în jurul celor trei piloni ai operei sale: „Puerto Rican Obituary”, „Traffic Violations” și „Out of Order”. Prima secțiune stabilește tonul politic și elegiac, în timp ce „Traffic Violations” introduce un absurd ludic, explorând birocrația și alienarea cotidiană. Includerea seriei „telephone booth” din volumul „Out of Order” subliniază măiestria lui Pedro Pietri în a transforma obiecte banale în simboluri ale izolării comunicative. Spre deosebire de Hey Yo! Yo Soy! - 50 Years of Nuyorican Street Poetry, care documentează evoluția stradală a genului pe parcursul a cinci decenii, volumul de față se concentrează pe rafinarea vocii individuale a lui Pietri, integrând și lucrări inedite care nuanțează portretul său de iconoclast al secolului XX. Ritmul este alert, marcat de influențele tradiției orale și ale performance-ului, transformând lectura într-o experiență auditivă și vizuală intensă.

Despre autor

Pedro Pietri (1944–2004) a fost un poet și dramaturg născut în Ponce, Puerto Rico, și crescut în Manhattan, devenit una dintre cele mai influente figuri ale culturii latino din SUA. Veteran al războiului din Vietnam, Pietri a co-fondat legendarul Nuyorican Poets Cafe, oferind o platformă vocilor marginalizate. Opera sa, marcată de un spirit rebel și de o creativitate explozivă, a definit experiența „Nuyorican” — o fuziune între identitatea insulară și realitatea urbană americană. A rămas cunoscut pentru interpretările sale magnetice și pentru capacitatea de a transforma suferința socială în artă poetică de o onestitate brutală.

Descriere scurtă

"There was no one in this country as ferocious, as brilliant, or as necessary as Pedro Pietri. In these days of growing inequality it is to his rebel vision I turn to for hope and for strength. A towering poet, absolutely peerless, explosively talented, a pioneer, and iconoclast, and activist, to whom the entire spoken word movement owes a debt beyond calculation."—Junot Diaz
"One of the great American poets of the twentieth century, a leader of the Nuyorican poetry movement that ignited at Miguel Algarín's Nuyorican Poet's Cafe. Perhaps the most progressive and at the same time funniest poet of the period."—Amiri Baraka
Pedro Pietri's often playfully absurd poems chronicle the joys and struggles of Nuyoricans—urban Puerto Ricans whose lives straddle the islands of Puerto Rico and Manhattan—and define the Latino experience in urban America. By turns angry, heartbreaking, and hopeful, his writings are imbued with a sense of pride and nationalism and were embraced by the generation of Latino poets that followed him. Pedro Pietri: Selected Poetry gathers the most enduring and treasured work among his published books, Puerto Rican Obituary, Traffic Violations, and Out of Order, along with a generous selection of his previously unpublished works.
Pedro Pietri (1944–2004) was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, and raised in Manhattan. In the early '70s he was a featured poet at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe.
Juan Flores (1943-2014) was a professor and director of Latino Studies at New York University, and author of many books on Puerto Rican and Latino culture.
Pedro López Adorno is a professor in the Department of Africana and Puerto Rican/Latino Studies of Hunter College since 1987, and a published poet.

Recenzii

"In this charming and powerful posthumous volume, Pietri, a co-founder of New York City’s legendary Nuyorican Poets Café, shows off the sharp, surreal sense of humor he employs in writing on the social and political issues affecting New York City’s Puerto Rican community … abundant joy and imagination that may inspire the reader to pick up a pen: 'the magic of / writing poetry,' Pietri declares, 'is not knowing / how to do it / right or wrong!’"—Publishers Weekly
“Like ‘Howl,' [Pietri’s poetry] became a cornerstone of new consciousness for a group of outsiders ready to declare their independence from the mainstream—in this case, the group Pietri himself helped name as Nuyoricans … much of his best work remained unpublished or buried in small-press magazines. Editors Juan Flores and Pedro López Adorno have thankfully gathered a substantial amount of Pietri’s uncollected work in this book”—Gerald Nicosia, San Francisco Chronicle
“'They worked / They worked / They worked / and they died / They died broke / They died owing / They died never knowing / what the front entrance / of the first national city bank looks like.' Pedro Pietri wrote 'Puerto Rican Obituary' in 1969, after having served in Vietnam. There’s no mention of that war in the poem, but there’s a strong sense of futility, death, and disaffection that must have been informed by witnessing the violence of war and then coming home to unfulfilled dreams. “Obituary” is the first poem in City Lights’ new collection of the late poet’s work, much of which is otherwise only available in out-of-print or photocopied editions. I hadn’t heard of Pietri before reading this collection, which is a shame because he strikes me as the Ginsberg of the Vietnam era—combining politics, race, and the personal in performative poetry. His lines are propulsive and witty, especially in the playful 'Telephone Booth' series, which reads like a flirtatious midnight conversation: 'because I do not / want to make / future generations / lose sleep I / will do my very best / not to influence / anyone regardless / of what a nice ass / they seem to have.’"—Nicole Rudick, The Paris Review
"Pedro Pietri: Selected Poetry gathers the most important poems of the author’s classic books. … The result is 240 pages of brilliant writing that delivers one of the sharpest looks into the Nuyorican experience ever offered … [A] collection like this should be read and celebrated, because it ensures that his legacy as spoken word innovator and his status as of the most explosively talented and unique voices in 20th century poetry is recognized and exposed to new readers.”—PANK
